Happy ‘International Day of Planetaria’ to everyone. The ‘Day of Planetaria’ was first celebrated in Italy in 1990. While this day is well recognised in Europe it has yet to really catch on in the United States or Australasia.

However I am really pleased to see that the Science Centre of Wollongong is celebrating the day by including a free planetarium show with every admission into the Science Centre. Further details are on their Facebook page.

Congratulations to the team at Wollongong. And here’s hoping that more planetariums will come on board next year.
